Abstract: Embodiments discussed herein refer to systems, methods, and circuits for conforming to power up sequencing rules of a conventional hard-wired data connection even though the hard-wired data connection that would ordinarily exist between two data controllers has been replaced with one or more contactless connectors. A consequence of replacing the hard-wired connection with a contactless connector is that the data controllers no longer directly control the power sequencing between the controllers because they are not able to directly communicate with each other over the hard-wired data connections. Power sequence assist circuitry may be used to assists the data controllers in establishing a link in accordance with the power sequencing rules of a particular wired interface despite the intentionally broken hard-wired data connection between the two controllers by instructing the contactless connectors to communicate with their respective data controllers in compliance with the power sequencing rules.

Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for encoding or decoding a signal corresponding to a high frequency band in an audio signal. The method and apparatus for encoding a high frequency band detects and encodes frequency component(s) according to a pre-set criterion from a signal corresponding to a frequency band higher than a pre-set frequency and encodes energy value(s) of a signal to reconstruct band(s) in which the detected frequency component(s) are included. The method and apparatus for decoding a high frequency band decodes the signal by adjusting a signal to reconstruct a band in which important frequency component(s) are included by considering an energy value of the important frequency component(s). Accordingly, even though encoding or decoding is performed using a small number of bits, there is no degradation in sound quality of a signal corresponding to a high frequency band, and thus coding efficiency can be maximized.
